Taylor 112ce – Torrefied Spruce / Layered Sapele Acoustic-Electric

The Taylor 112ce brings the comfortable dimensions and articulate response of Taylor’s Grand Concert body shape into an approachable acoustic-electric built for far more than just learning your first chords.

With a torrefied Spruce top, layered Sapele back and sides, Taylor’s comfortable neck geometry and ES2 electronics, the 112ce offers the clarity, playability and versatility that have made Taylor guitars such a popular choice among players at every level.

Its smaller Grand Concert body makes it particularly inviting for fingerstyle players, younger musicians, electric guitarists transitioning to acoustic, or anyone who simply prefers an instrument that sits comfortably against the body.

And with an included Taylor Padded Gig Bag, the 112ce is ready for lessons, rehearsals, songwriting sessions and performances from day one.

With more than 20 years as a Taylor dealer, Northeast Music Center understands how important a guitar like the 112ce can be. A player's first serious acoustic should be an instrument that encourages them to keep playing—not one they immediately need to replace as their skills develop.

GRAND CONCERT – SMALLER BODY, SERIOUS VOICE

The Grand Concert body is one of the biggest reasons to choose the 112ce over a larger acoustic.

Its compact proportions sit comfortably against the player, making it especially appealing for anyone who finds a dreadnought or even a Grand Auditorium larger than necessary.

But this isn't simply about physical comfort.

The Grand Concert has its own musical personality.

Its more focused response works particularly well for fingerstyle playing, melodic work and lighter strumming, where articulation and note separation can matter more than sheer acoustic volume.

For songwriting at home, lessons, recording or intimate performances, it's an extremely useful platform.

TORREFIED SPRUCE

At the heart of the 112ce is its torrefied Spruce top.

Spruce is one of the great all-purpose acoustic soundboard materials because it combines clarity, projection and dynamic flexibility.

Torrefaction uses controlled heat treatment to alter certain physical characteristics of the wood, with the goal of introducing some of the responsiveness and warmth associated with more seasoned material.

That gives this 112ce an especially appealing foundation.

Play lightly and the guitar responds.

Dig in and the Spruce provides room for additional dynamics.

For a player still developing their technique, that versatility is valuable because the guitar doesn't force them toward one particular playing style.

LAYERED SAPELE BACK & SIDES

Taylor pairs the Spruce top with layered Sapele back and sides.

Layered construction provides excellent structural consistency while allowing Taylor to concentrate the guitar's primary soundboard investment where it matters most—the Spruce top.

Sapele contributes a clean, focused character that complements the clarity of Spruce particularly well.

The combination makes sense for a guitar designed to handle lessons, practice, songwriting, recording and live use without becoming precious or impractical.

COMFORT THAT CAN KEEP YOU PLAYING

Comfort matters on every guitar.

On a first or early serious acoustic, it matters even more.

If a guitar feels physically awkward, requires excessive effort or simply isn't enjoyable to hold, a new player has one more reason not to practice.

The 112ce approaches the problem differently.

Its smaller Grand Concert body reduces physical bulk, while the 1-11/16" nut width creates an approachable fretting-hand feel.

That combination makes this model particularly worth considering for players with smaller hands, younger guitarists and electric players who are accustomed to narrower neck dimensions.

TRADITIONAL C NECK PROFILE

The Maple neck uses a Traditional C profile, providing a familiar shape in the fretting hand.

Combined with the 25.5" scale length, 20 frets and Ebony fretboard, the 112ce offers a playing platform capable of supporting a guitarist well beyond the beginner stage.

That's an important part of the value proposition.

An affordable guitar shouldn't feel disposable.

The 112ce gives a developing player something they can continue using as their technique, musical vocabulary and performance needs expand.

EBONY FRETBOARD & BRIDGE

The 112ce features an Ebony fretboard and Ebony bridge, giving the guitar quality playing surfaces and the familiar dark visual contrast associated with many Taylor acoustics.

Simple dot inlays keep the fretboard clean and easy to navigate.

The headplate is also Ebony, tying the design together from the headstock through the bridge.

It's understated rather than ornate—and entirely appropriate for a guitar whose primary purpose is making music.

CLEAN TAYLOR APPOINTMENTS

The visual treatment is straightforward and recognizable.

A black pickguard and black binding frame the natural wood presentation, while a white three-ring rosette adds definition around the soundhole.

Taylor Closed-Back tuners provide dependable operation without unnecessary visual complexity.

The 112ce doesn't need elaborate appointments to make its point.

Its appeal is in the proportions, woods, playability and usefulness.

CUTAWAY ACCESS

The cutaway adds another practical dimension.

As a player's skills develop, they're likely to move beyond open-position chords and begin exploring more of the fretboard.

Upper-register chord voicings, melodic lines and lead playing become easier to access with the cutaway body design.

That is another reason the 112ce can grow with the player rather than simply serving as a temporary first instrument.

TAYLOR ES2 ELECTRONICS

The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) makes the 112ce ready for amplified performance.

Whether you're plugging into an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording setup, there's no need to immediately modify the guitar with an aftermarket pickup.

That's particularly useful for a developing musician.

Today's lesson guitar can become tomorrow's rehearsal guitar.

Then an open-mic guitar.

Then a stage guitar.

The electronics give the instrument somewhere to go as the player progresses.

NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS

The price and comfortable dimensions make the 112ce an excellent choice for newer players, but labeling it strictly a "beginner guitar" misses much of its appeal.

An experienced guitarist may want exactly these characteristics.

A smaller acoustic that's easy to keep nearby.

A comfortable writing guitar.

A stage-ready instrument that doesn't require carrying a high-end acoustic everywhere.

A compact Taylor for fingerstyle work.

Or simply a dependable acoustic-electric that feels good in the hands.

The 112ce can fill any of those roles.

112ce OR 114ce?

For customers comparing Taylor's 100 Series, the distinction between the 112ce and 114ce is worth understanding.

The 114ce uses Taylor's larger Grand Auditorium body, making it an excellent all-purpose choice for players who want more body and projection.

The 112ce Grand Concert is the more compact alternative.

It emphasizes physical comfort and a focused response that can be particularly attractive for fingerstyle playing and players who simply prefer a smaller-bodied acoustic.

Neither choice is universally better.

The better guitar is the one that suits the player.

And that's where buying from people who actually understand the instruments becomes important.

MORE THAN 20 YEARS WITH TAYLOR

Northeast Music Center has been a Taylor dealer for more than 20 years.

Over that time, we've watched Taylor continually refine its guitars while maintaining one of the company's most important characteristics: playability.

That matters tremendously with models like the 112ce.

Someone purchasing their first quality acoustic deserves the same knowledgeable attention as someone choosing a premium Taylor.

At Northeast Music Center, our goal isn't simply to sell someone a guitar today.

It's to help them choose an instrument they'll still be happy they bought years from now.

That's why Northeast Music Center believes the 112ce deserves serious consideration for anyone looking for a comfortable, versatile and genuinely musical Taylor without moving into the company's higher-priced series.

TAYLOR PADDED GIG BAG INCLUDED

The Taylor 112ce comes complete with a Taylor Padded Gig Bag, providing practical protection for lessons, rehearsals, performances and everyday transportation.

The lighter weight and portability fit the personality of the guitar perfectly.

Grab it.

Take it with you.

And play.

AN APPROACHABLE TAYLOR YOU CAN KEEP

The Taylor 112ce gets the important things right.

A responsive torrefied Spruce top.

A comfortable Grand Concert body.

An approachable neck.

Ebony fretboard and bridge.

A useful cutaway.

ES2 electronics.

And an included Taylor bag.

For a new player, those features create an instrument capable of making the learning process more enjoyable.

For the experienced musician, they create a compact, useful acoustic-electric that can easily become the guitar you reach for every day.

That's a combination Northeast Music Center is very comfortable recommending.
